Humpty Dumpty Egg-Splodes
Kevin O'Malley
Illustrations by Kevin O'Malley

Publisher's copy-
Humpty Dumpty has wigged out. Furious for being teased and taunted for his =
round and bald body and his bad habit of falling off walls, Humpty is =
wreaking havoc throughout Mother Goose Land. And with Mother Goose out of =
town, it's up to Old King Cole to put things right. But as the king points =
out, he's a merry old soul, not a smart one. Luckily, he has Jack Be =
Nimble to help him pick up the pieces.

Kevin O'Malley stands Mother Goose on her head, with clever wordplays that =
beg to be read aloud and hilarious illustrations that create a world of =
nursery rhyme characters unlike anything ever seen before. This is not =
your baby sister's Mother Goose.



Kevin O'Malley is the author/illustrator of Bud, Leo Cockroach: Toy =
Tester, and Velcome and the illustrator of the popular Miss Malarkey =
series, all for Walker & Company. Kevin lives with his family in Baltimore,=
 Maryland.
